Weight



Under guise of favor

excitement, one-sided

accept the troubled lot

don't let resolve waver

 

crawling skin

nowhere to breathe

escape...temporary

despair sets in

 

trouble follows fears

eleventh hour looming

solutions mocking hope

no relief from tears

 

trust is a charade

shoulders start to crack

choking on reliance

no voice to persuade.

Love's Debut

Through the distant blue

above the highest stars

every wish comes true

the universe is ours

nights intoxicating

I'm drunk on you

you find me captivating

love's debut

over the highest rainbow

beyond all the oceans, too

surpassing all you know 

still, merely a preview

like blossoms on a southern breeze

contented sighs float through

the path is marked with ease

when two hearts are true.
